Infused with the sophistication of a Toorak residence and an unmistakable Ile-de-France elegance, this exquisitely constructed Reid heritage home is defined by contemporary classic design in a sought-after Reid precinct. Constructed to the highest standards, a rare 5-star EER rating reflects meticulous craftsmanship and premium materials throughout. Completely reimagined in 2012, the residence underwent a complete transformation combining modern freshness and bespoke elegant finishes for a classic heritage appeal.

Completely rebuilt, retaining only the historic red-brick façade, the interiors are enriched with soft, tasteful wall colours, designer lighting, bespoke furnishings, and polished red ironbark timber flooring. Spectacular landscaped formal gardens by Terry and Mia Fox showcase sculpted box hedges and bay trees, camellias, flowering cherry blossoms, azaleas, and a tranquil herb and vegetable garden. Custom locally handcrafted designer automatic wrought-iron gates, complement the electric front gates.

All rooms have been thoughtfully designed and well-appointed, with the main family, living, and dining rooms classic formal spaces with an elegant but modern refined aesthetic. The family room is impressive and exudes a sophisticated presence with designer sheers and leads to the spectacular formal gardens and lush lawned area at the rear. A magnificent resort-like pool is also perfectly placed and can be observed from the kitchen, family, and entertaining areas.

The home's gourmet kitchen is an absolute showpiece, featuring stylish marble benches, premium appliances including a Falcon range with multiple cooking functions, complemented by a large well-designed scullery. The meals and kitchen areas also display an elegant 1930s Murano glass chandelier, with refined chequered porcelain flooring underneath which flows out to an inviting entertaining area. This area also boasts a very tasteful rain-and-wind sensor-activated awning, overlooking the stunning resort-style pool, surrounded by the sculptured formal gardens, perfectly framed by Mount Ainslie and mature trees.

With four elegant, generously sized bedrooms, there is space for all family members to spread out comfortably. A king-sized main bedroom suite is a sanctuary of indulgence, featuring generous wardrobes, ultra-stylish curtains, and a five-star-hotel-style luxe ensuite also overlooking the pool and formal gardens. Three additional bedrooms include one with private patio access. The study is spacious and full of charm, offering a peaceful setting and a tranquil workspace or library. All bathrooms throughout are luxurious including the guest powder room-with designer sophistication, marble tops, porcelain tiling, and high-end fittings and fixtures.

The home also offers a very versatile fourth living space on the mezzanine level, which is ideal as a home office, snug or hobby area, complete with a walk-in storage room.

This home is exemplary in construction, meticulous in style, and ready for family and entertaining, moments from Canberra's CBD, Braddon, Lake Burley Griffin, Campbell High School, Canberra Airport, Kingston Foreshore, and the Parliamentary Triangle.
